Kind And Sensitive Funeral Services from Heritage & Sons
Working throughout the pretty villages and gorgeous market towns of Buckinghamshire, and now also Hertfordshire, with the addition of Tring. Heritage & Sons are proud of its longevity and service to the local area.
Heritage & Sons offer compassionate and caring funeral services from its funeral homes throughout Buckinghamshire and now, a new Heritage & Son funeral home in central Tring has opened in Hertfordshire.
Buckinghamshire is the most northerly county in Southeast England. Our funeral homes are located in Amersham, Bletchley, Buckingham, Winslow, and Wendover with two sites in the county town of Aylesbury. Heritage & Sons is delighted to support the people of the county and neighbouring Hertfordshire. Buckingham, Bicester, Banbury, Chackmore, Akeley, Lillingstone Lovell, Maids Moreton, Padbury and Gawcott are just some of the towns that use the services of Heritage & Sons.
A proud history for Heritage & Sons
The traditions of Heritage & Sons date back to the nineteenth century with the founding of the first funeral home in Winslow. Although things have changed over the years, the core values of Heritage & Sons remain the same. Emphasis is placed on compassion, personality and legacy.
In October, during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, all our Heritage & Sons funeral homes were privileged to be a drop-off point for new and used bras helping to raise vital funds for research into secondary spread breast cancer. We collected a fantastic total of 171 bras for Against Breast Cancer.
Last Christmas, all our Heritage & Sons funeral homes were a collection point for Bucks Radio Toy Appeal. We collected toys, games and gifts for babies and children of all ages to help bring a smile to children and their families facing a tough time during Christmas.
